FUNCTIONS The INDEC is supervised by different federal agencies, and is under the direct oversight of the ''Secretaría de Programación Económica y Regional'' (Secretariat of Economic and Regional Planning) of the ''Ministerio de Economía y Producción'' (Ministry of Economy and Production, MECON). The INDEC also coordinates the ''Sistema Estadístico Nacional'' (National Statistics' System, SEN) under principles of normative centralization and governmental division. In the SEN works together national, provicial and local statistical services, and in each province there is a statistics bureau called ''Dirección de Estadística'' dependant of the provincial government, that takes and processes information. Censuses in Argentina are officially helded every 10 years. Performed censuses have been in 1869 , 1895 , 1914 , 1947 , 1960 , 1970 , 1980 , 1991 (delayed for budget problems) and 2001 . In-between censuses the information is permanently updated with the Sampled ''Encuesta Permanente de Hogares'' (Permanent Homes' Survey). Official complete reports are delivered every 6 months. HISTORY The first national statistics' centre was the ''Dirección General de Estadística'' (General Directorate of Statistics), established in 1894 as a division of the Ministry of Public Finances. Fifty years later, in 1944 , the ''Consejo Nacional de Estadística y Censos'' (National Council of Statistics and Censuses) was created, with dependencies on both the Ministry of the Interior and the National Presidential Office. Other agencies were later formed in 1950 , 1952 , and 1956 before the final creation of the ''Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos'' in 1968 by Law 17622 and Decrees 3110/70 and 1831/93.
